In Chad Ford's latest at ESPN.com, he ranks all 30 NBA teams for summer moves including free agent signings, trades and the NBA Draft.With the trade to get Richard Jefferson, and stealing DeJuan Blair in the second round of the draft, Ford picks the Spurs at #1.The Spurs always seem to find a way to turn a little into a lot. They turned three aging players past their primes into Richard Jefferson -- an athletic forward at the peak of his game. And even without a first-round pick in this year's draft, they were still able to come away with some terrific players in the second round. Specifically, Pittsburgh's DeJuan Blair, who was the best rebounder in college basketball and is a beast in the paint. If his knees stay sturdy, he'll go down as the steal of the draft.Now it sounds like the Spurs also have the inside track on signing free agent Antonio McDyess. But even if they don't land him, they have dramatically improved their team and are, once again, serious contenders for an NBA title.Read the full article at ESPN.com.

Rolling the dice on McDyess

'Sheed is gone to Boston. All the dreams (and nightmares) of Wallace wearing the Silver and Black can now be put to rest. I was really high on 'Sheed, and I think that this is a great pick up for the Celtics. And one way or another, we still need to find a veteran big man to play alongside Duncan and our suddenly youthful and athletic frontline. A lot of speculation and...

The Starting 5

Via MVN  |  July 10, 2009
By Fred Silva, Project Spurs Staff Writerfred@projectspurs.com Just after the news broke that Antonio McDyess had accepted the Spurs offer, Project Spurs reader named "Onion King" posed the question, "What does this do to the starting lineup?"

NBA International Stars, Springfield Worthy?

Via Bleacher Report  |  July 08, 2009
A friend and I were watching Sportsnation and got into a debate about who was the better international player, Gasol or Ginobili. As a Spurs fan I clearly picked Ginobili but he argued that Gasol would get into the Hall of Fame before Ginobili would. Originally I thought he was right because while Manu might have three titles, Gasol is statistically a "better" player.Then I realized...
